DR.. Elias Wenger. once teacher in
Augusta county, and at the time Of his
death postmaster at Gilman. ILL.,, died
there very suddenly on the I'd inst. He
had been slightly paralyzed while presiding
at the meeting of the Illinois State Medi-

at his home in August. On the evening
of his death he was sitting in biz porch
wnen neighboring physician rode up and
asked how he was. DR.. Wenger replied
that he had not felt so we'll for an hour OR
two, then threw his hand to his head eX-
claiming, ''Oh, doctor; my head - and

The Gilman ''Star" in noticing his death,
says:
AS the county history says, history Of
Gilman would be incomplete without mention
of Dr. Wenger. He was one of the board Of
trustees elected when Gilman was incorpo-
rated as a town, and was also elected treas
urer, and when, later, city organization
was effected he was chosen one of the council
by the people. Upon the institution of Gilman

charter members, and in the first set of off,

lowing, he was Master. The original lodge
was built by him, and given to the society
rent free for the first year. Under the present
administration he was appointed postmaster
here, and his term had not expired. The
deceased was man of fine qualities. His
genial and sympathetic disposition made him

Death of Ex-Auditor Asa Rogers.

On Tuesday last, Capt. q. M. McIlhany
received telegram announcing the death
at his home in Middleburg, Loudoun
county, On that day, of his uncle. General
Asa Rogers, former Second Auditor of
Virginia. He had reached his eighty-ffth
year. Ofhis immediate family he leaves
sister, Mrs. Davidson of Culpeper, aged
81, and a brother, VIM. Rogers of Loudoun
aged So, and who are now the only survi-
vors of family of ten children. While
Gen. Rogers was appreciated throughout
the State as public officer, yet in Staun.
ton his visits to his nephew had made
him familiar to many Of our citizens who
will feel a deep personal regret at the
death Of the noble old Virginian, and who
will appreciate the truth of the following
from the Richmond Dispatch:
He was truly Virginian of the olden type,
and an honor to the society and the circle OF
public men of his State. He was courteous
amiable, and polished in marked degree
but true TO his convictions and utterly fearless
in the discharge of his duty in whatever posi-
ton he was placed. General Rogers was
man OF sterling integrity. of high cultivation
and of the noblest impulses. Much of his
life was given to the service of Virginia, that
service being rendered most conspicuously il
the State Senate and in the office of Second
Auditor. In both these capacities he was
equally faithful and true-was in all respects
a public servant

,pEN1Ne OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

OPENING OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The Public Schools opened on Thursday
Of last week, and there have already been
entered in the white schools 464. and IN
the colored schools 424 pupils.
Notwithstanding the great amount of
work and confusion necessary to opening,
the different schools are already in excel
lent working order. The work has been
much facilitated by the printed regula-
tions. to which pupils and teachers are
expected to give close attention. None
of the old pupils have been promoted
whose grade last year, fell below seventy
FIVE per cent. The new pupils were care
classified according to established grades.
By dividing the High School into two
sections, these rooms will not be so crowd
ed as the Principals room has been in the
past, and this will enable him to give
close attention to class work, besides at
tending to the many duties of his position.
Altogether the session bids fair to be a
successful one.
OTHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS.
At the D. D. q B. Institution there are
$50 pupils in attendance and 20 applicants
are waiting to get admission if room can
be made for them.

The New Postage Stamps

The Postoffice Department at Washing
ton this week issues stamps of color and
design different from those now in use,
but it will be nearly or fully the beginning
of 1888 before Staunton gets all of them.
Staunton uses about 100000 two cent
stamps every three months and has just re-
ceived supply of 125 900 reds. With the
new 5 and 10 cent stamps however, Staun-
ton will soon be familiar, as there is no
supply of these On hand. The color of the
two cent stamp will be green instead of
metallic red, and the color of the three
cent stamp will be vermillion instead of
green. The one-eent embossed stamps on
stamped envelopes will be printed from a
new die of the head Of Franklin, after the
bust by Caracci, and the two-cent stamp
will contain the head of Washington from
a new die, after the statue by Houdon.-
The four-cent stamp will be .carmine IN
stead of green. The five-cent stamp will
be dark blue instead of chocolate brown,
and will contain the head of Grant instead
of that of Garfield. The thirty-cent stamp
will be brown instead of black, and the
ninety cent stamp will be purple instead
of carmine. In addition to these changes
the border around the one, two, four and
fvc-cent embossed stamps will be some
what different from the borders now used.
On the upper portion of an ellliptical band
between Two serrated lines, are the words,
In the same style of lettering, United
States Postage" in white letters; on the
lower portion of the band are words indi-
eating the denomination, which is also
shown by an Arabic mineral in a shield
at the bottom. The upper and lower por-
tons of the band are separated by an
eight pointed rosette on each side of the
stamp. The stamped envelopes are un-
changed as to colors and qualities of paper
and as to denominations and prices.

Electric Street Railway.

President J. Thompson Brown of the
Electric Union Passenger Railway in
Richmond, was in Stanton Saturday
driving over the streets with several of
our prominent citizens He was fayora-
bly, impressed with the street railway pos
sibilities and said he would send the COM
pany's engineer up this week to look at
the grades. Should the company take
hold of the enterprise in Staunton, it will
light up the city ground near the fair
grounds with electricity, erect refresh
ment stands for the summer there and
have band there during the warm sea-
son. These being the means generally used
by it to make the terminus of its line at
tractiVe to passengers.

Call Accepted.

The Session OF Hebron church has re-
ceived letter from Rev. J. E. Booker of
Charleston, accepting the call to their
church, subject Of course to the decision
OF Greenbrier Presbytery. The passionate
of Hebron church is an enviable one in its
environments. The venerable church a
century old, the picturesque cemetery, the
beautiful grove, the tlmestained manse
near which flows beautiful stream, make
it a very attractive field of labor, and the
substantial character Of the congregation
with an ancestry running back to the first
settlement of the Valley, furnishes the
right material to aid the laborer in bis
work. The many friends of Mr.. Booker
in Staunton will be as much pleased to
have him in easy reach as Hebron con gre
cation will be to have him there.

Increase Of Freight Business.

The Valley railroad is doing freight
business it never appropriated before. and
far exceeding the rolling stock capacity
of the B. & o. Co. to furnish transporta-
ton for. The line seems to be more or
less blocked from Lexington to Harper S
Ferry. One night last week four heavy
trains of cattle went down the line from
Staunton. On Saturday there were about
100 cars lying at Harrisonburg station, and
the 4 P. M. train North from Stanton
did not get eff till near morning. In the
mean time the mails by that route have
no regular time to arrive. By an arrange
ment made a few months ago from 40 to
rs car loads of freight are turned over to
this road from the g. & 0. r. B., every
day at StauDton.
